• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_BP_DATAREPL060 - Replication models &1 and &2 cannot be active at the same time ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_BP_DATAREPL060 indicates that there is a conflict with the replication models in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. Specifically, it states that two replication models (denoted as &1 and &2) cannot be active simultaneously. This typically occurs when there are overlapping configurations or settings for the replication of business partner data.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Replication Models: The error arises when two replication models are configured to replicate the same type of data (e.g., business partners) but are set up in a way that they conflict with each other.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the replication models, such as incorrect settings or overlapping criteria that lead to the conflict.
  System Settings: The system may have been set up to allow only one active replication model for a specific type of data at a time.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Replication Models: Check the details of the replication models mentioned in the error message (replace &1 and &2 with the actual model names). You can do this in the MDG configuration settings.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Go to the MDG configuration for business partner replication and review the settings for both replication models. Look for any overlapping settings or criteria that may cause the conflict.
  
  
  Deactivate One Model: If both models are indeed necessary, you will need to decide which one to deactivate. You can do this in the MDG configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area for replication models.
  Deactivate one of the conflicting models.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After making changes, test the replication process to ensure that it works correctly with the active model.
  
  
  Documentation and Support: If you are unsure about which model to deactivate or if the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
